Tuesday Things.
1. I’m having a huge moment with bircher muesli. I’ve never made it before and it’s so much better than my regular overnight oats recipe. It keeps me full for at least five hours.
2. How stunning is this candied orange olive oil cake?!
3. OMG. So I watched all of You on Netflix last week. I got hooked. It was so creepy but I weirdly liked the character. I found it to be very Dexter-esque. And! I was so excited to see another season of Friends From College. I blew through that this weekend too (30 minute episodes kill me) and I LOVE the show. I mean, I actually laugh out loud. Fred Savage is hilarious. But then Eddie kind of ruined it for me when he’s like… these characters are TERRIBLE PEOPLE why do you like them?! Whomp whomp.
4. If you’re looking for meal planning inspo, we’re going to open up Sweet Peas Meals again soon for membership – you can get on the waitlist here!
5. Did you see all the craziness on twitter about Marie Kondo + getting rid of books? I have no problem getting rids of things, but I am such a huge lover of books that I rarely EVER get rid of them. I just can’t do it.
6. Speaking of, what to do with all that stuff that doesn’t spark joy. And 15 things from Marie Kondo that are genuinely life changing. I actually do use the spark joy technique all the time!
7. I am so excited to launch a new series here on the blog later this week: side dish Sundays! Even though I have lots of weeknight dinner ideas under my belt, I often struggle with side dishes. It’s so weird. You guys have told me the same over on IG, so we’re going to solve this together.
8. Organize your to do list by mental state. Obsessed with this.
9. Right now I’m doing a Q+A over on insta stories! It will be up until tonight, so if you have a question, head on over or ask below!

Can you share your recipe for the bircher muesli?
yes yes! okay here’s what i’ve been doing – mixing all of these together and letting them sit overnight:
1 cup 2% plain greek yogurt
1 cup coconut almond milk (i use the califia farms one, you can use any milk!)
2 cups rolled oats
1 gala apple, grated
1 banana, chopped up
3 tablespoons sliced almonds (i used the honey roasted ones from traderjoes)
1 tablespoon hemp hearts
1 1/2 tablespoons honey
pinch of salt
pinch of cinnamon
this makes at least 4 servings for me, but i give the kids some too. i find it’s still good after 3-4 days, even with the apple and banana! i let it sit for a little at room temp (20 mins?) before i eat it because i don’t love things super cold. you can stir in more fruit or nuts or granola!
I am SO excited about side dish Sunday’s. You get extra points if they can be made low – carb/keto friendly. :) :)
I don’t throw away my books, I give them to other people. What they do with them is their problem. LOL
totally agree! i give some away too!!
Can you share with me the bircher muesli recipie..I love muesli!

Could you share how you prep the bircher muesli? Sounds like something I’d love!

I have to admit that I’m on Eddie’s side when it comes to Friends From College… I’m not even going to watch season 2! But I’m two episodes into Tidying Up and definitely feeling the need to clean up and organize my house!
haha so funny!! i could NOT get into tidying up. i don’t know why! i mean, it did make me want to clean. but some of the situations seemed so much like hoarders and then poof! they cleaned everything!
OMG I am in LOVE with Friends From College!! Yes, I suppose they are terrible people, but it is so funny that I don’t even care ;)
i know! haha!
My bf and I had the exact same conversation about Friends from College last night. I loved Season 1 and he just started it and it like these people are terrible!!
ugh! it’s crazy!
I am going to watch Marie Kondo but I don’t believe in purging books. If I get rid of books it’s so rare and then they go to books behind bars for inmates.
love that!
Yes! Please share your Bircher muslix with us!

Thank you! I’ll have to try your recipe. I love overnight oats! (Even in winter)
We are basically the same person, I just finished Friends from College and it makes me so happy. The scene when the guy is chasing those two around the fountain at the wedding? Still can’t stop laughing. I was hope sick yesterday and watched 5 episodes of YOU, I am hooked. It reminds me of Gossip Girl…
OMG i was laughing SO SO SO hard at that scene!
I’m with Eddie. The friends from Friends From College kind of suck! Plus they need to find new people to screw. I am glad I have better friends than that. I like Max & Felix the best…but didn’t blame Felix for breaking up with Max because of his dumb friends at all! :)
i agree, they are my faves!
I watched all of friends from college and I am with eddie. They are all horrid people.
But I like to binge watch, so I’ll pribably watch season 2.
I do the spark joy thing all the time. Sometimes it’s great, sometimes it lets me justify buying 10 new fish towers at home goods. Which I did today. 😂
BAHAHAHAH
I have been practicing getting rid of books. I own SO MANY that I’ll never open again, and if I donate them to the library, they sell them and put the money back into the library. I use Goodreads to keep a list of all the books I read, and if I read a library book and love it, I allow myself to buy a copy. Since my books on display in my living room they are basically part of the decor and I want them to reflect me.
i love this!
One more request for your muesli recipe please!

I’m psyched for more side dishes! I’m the opposite with books. I can’t bear to think of them sitting on my shelf, only read by me one time, while I know so many people who might love them! Maybe not being able to afford to purchase every book I read or not having room to store/display 25 new books a year has something to do with it too!
i love that mindset too!
3.) Oh yes, it’s chilling.
7.) Yay!

YOU is based off of a book with the same name! I added it to my TBR list right after I finished season 1. Joe is seriously creepy but I can’t stop wondering what he going to do next. Also- why does Penn Badgley always play creepy writer/bookish characters?
I am a huge book lover but I purged about 3/4 of my books last year before I moved. I only kept my absolute favorites and donated the rest to the library. As much as I loved having them, I did not want to move them again and I figured was better to pass them along so someone else could enjoy them. I stick to library books and ebooks now. I miss buying books but I don’t miss the clutter.
i’ve been considering reading it!!!
friends from college!!! I love it, even if they are terrible humans.
yessss

So looking forward to your side dish series! I hate them. It like OH I just cooked this whole entree… and it’s not enough by itself. Oof.
